TH LNG GDBY

For TH LNG GDBY choreographer and visual artist Tuur Marinus starts from the legendary goodbye concert “The Long Goodbye” that electro-rockband LCD Soundsystem played in 2011 in New York.

While 9 dancers interweave their bodies into complex choreographic movement-tapestries, their voices they create sound patterns in which abstract versions of the original songs appear.

This results in a dance-music combination that is both elegant and clumsy – lyrical and disturbed; precise and undefined.

TH LNG GDBY is both a tribute to a grand moment in popmusic history as well as an intriguing meditation on past and future ways of intense togetherness.
